Responses to the Criminal Procedure Review—Magistrates Courts

In April 2022 we launched a consultation process asking questions about criminal procedures in the Magistrates Courts and views on possible improvements.

We also asked about whether the Magistrates Court should change its name to the Local Court, and if magistrates should be called Local Court judges.

Submissions in response to the Consultation paper closed on 30 June 2022.
